[问] It was between 1830 and 1835____the modern newspaper was born.

A. when B. that C. which D. because(TOEFL，81.5)

书上给的答案为that，但是，我认为也可以选when，因为先行词是时间词。

【答】 在定语从句中虽然也可以使用关系副词when或where，但是在强调句型中强调状语时，通常使用关系副词that，而不使用when或where。例如：

1.____that Stephen Crane wrote The Red Badge of Courage.

A. In New York B. New York

C. It was in New York D. New York was where(TOEFL，86. 3)

2. It is on July 22nd，1990____another eclipse of the sun was seen in Finland.

A. when B. which C. where D. that(TOEFL)

3. It was only on Thursdays that he visited her. (CGEL)

只是在星期四他才去拜访他。

4. It’s in the market that Julie buys her vegetables. (CGEL)

朱丽叶是在菜市场买菜。

下面的where和when可看作是非正式语体用法：

1. It was yesterday when I saw him.

我是昨天看到他的。

2. It is at the school and universities where our characters are moulded.

我们的性格是在中小学和大学塑造出来的。
